> Random bits are incremented sequentially within the same millisecond

That surprised me. This provides sub-millisecond sorting when the same generator is used (I.E. same process) but doesn't hold across different processes. So you still have unsorted sub-millisecond events in a distributed system, so the concern isn't fully eliminated. It looks like a decent performance optimization though since it reduces calls to generate random bits.

I ended up reading RFC 9562, which talks about a bunch of ideas and tradeoffs with this sort of sub-millisecond sorting.

Get hired. Go through onboarding. Collect your hiring bonus. Get a few weeks for your first project and fail at it. It gets written off as "they're just new here". Use some "unlimited" vacation time. Get more projects and keep failing at them. Get put on a new team because the eng director wants to give you another chance, and repeat the whole process. Eventually get put on a PIP. Show no improvement at the end of it. Accept a severance in exchange for "resigning" and signing an NDA/liability waiver.

At a large company it is possible for this entire process to draw out for 3-6 months, and you collecting >$100K in in that period.
FIDE regulations for the World Rapid and Blitz Chess Championships, including the dress code, are designed to ensure professionalism and fairness for all participants.

Today, Mr. Magnus Carlsen breached the dress code by wearing jeans, which are explicitly prohibited under long-standing regulations for this event. The Chief Arbiter informed Mr. Carlsen of the breach, issued a $200 fine, and requested that he change his attire. Unfortunately, Mr. Carlsen declined, and as a result, he was not paired for round nine. This decision was made impartially and applies equally to all players.

Earlier in the day, another participant, Mr. Ian Nepomniachtchi, was also fined for breaching the dress code by wearing sports shoes. However, Mr. Nepomniachtchi complied, changed into approved attire, and continued to play in the tournament.

The dress code regulations are drafted by members of the FIDE Athletes Commission, which is composed of professional players and experts. These rules have been in place for years and are well-known to all participants and are communicated to them ahead of each event. FIDE has also ensured that the players' accommodation is within a short walking distance from the playing venue, making adherence to the rules more convenient.

FIDE remains committed to promoting chess and its values, including respect for the rules that all participants agree to follow.
Do you have a technical background? 50 seems quite low for someone to get the gist of the resumes and have a sense of the applicants.

If recruiting departments really suffer at parsing about 50 apps per day per recruiter, I can see why this got so bad so quickly.
It also isn't enough to win once. A winning lottery is only about 1 in 2^28.

There is absolutely nothing hilarious about any aspect of it whatsoever. We are talking about peace, justice, human freedom and suffering - all values on which the US was founded, by the way.

Whether the US should be involved or not is a valid question: moral, practical, diplomatic. A very recent parallel is that of the war in Ukraine: should the US be involved and be isolationist, or not? I for one think that a more than fair case can be made that holding the moral high ground will also, coincidentally, lead to more stability and more economic rewards. So it's a no-brainer and I don't share your isolationist view.

You should, incidentally, remember that US support for Taiwan goes back to a time when Taiwan didn't even have a semiconductor industry. It's unclear that US support would cease entirely if the US was fully independent in that industry, and it's also unclear whether that will happen in any short-term horizon, or at all.
See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42536302 for an official response to the claims in that repository. Many of the features listed there are officially planned features, although not necessarily in the way they imagine them. We want to give users a choice about things like secure activities blocking potentially accidental screenshots and apps detecting screenshots so those will have toggles.

GrapheneOS is heavily focused on privacy and security. That means we're not going to add massive attack surface or poke huge holes in the security model for very niche things that are not going to benefit the vast majority of users. We provide official support for userdebug builds with ADB root access for people building the OS. Official support includes helping people with their builds in our development room, with the hope that people end up contributing back. People making userdebug builds for production usage should enable ro.adb.secure=1 unlike a regular development build. They should be aware of the security downsides and it's their responsibility to secure the computer(s) they're using for builds, signing and ADB access. ADB access can also be used on the device itself via network ADB which is non-persistent for security reasons.

GrapheneOS is an open source project. Modifying the official binary releases is not the intended way of making changes to GrapheneOS. People are intended to modify the sources and build it themselves. The whole process is only a few commands and can be trivially scripted if people only want production builds signed with their keys.

GrapheneOS even has fully reproducible builds for the OS and we have a community member that's reproducing each OS release successfully. There's only one known issue specific to 8th gen Pixels which has been worked around by them doing the 8th gen Pixel Linux kernel build from a specific path. It should be resolved already by Android 15 QPR2 that's currently in Beta due to it moving to the 6.1 kernel used for 9th gen Pixels for 6th/7th/8th gen Pixels too.
It's about mileage, not age. A chain is good for maybe 2000 miles - a commuter might get a year or two out of it, but a courier or serious roadie could wear it out in a matter of weeks. The same basic equation applies to wheel rims, bearings, cassettes, chainrings and (in the case of e-bikes) batteries and motor-gearbox units. If you're changing those parts often enough, eventually something will strip or seize badly enough to write off the frame. Most casual cyclists will never experience it, but an aluminium frame will inevitably succumb to fatigue cracking around the bottom bracket after a few tens of thousands of miles, no matter how well it's cared for.

Three to five years is incredibly good for a bike that's potentially being ridden all day, every day under very harsh conditions.

Generally that's why the soft skills questions generally want a response in a STAR (situation, task, action, result) format. It's a lot harder to lie about a story and keep yourself consistent through a back and forth.

I am puzzled that you had such a negative experience. I set this up in the summer and it worked just fine, including comments on PRs. I used https://github.com/JetBrains/qodana-action
I kind of feel like it is the inverse in many ways.

As an experienced engineer, I know how to describe what I want which is 90% of getting the right implementation.

Secondly, because I know what I want and how it should work, I tend to know it when I see it. Often it only takes a nudge to get to a solution similar to what I already would have done. Usually it is just a quick comment like: "Do it in a functional style." or "This needs to have double check locking around {something}."

When I am working in the edge of my knowledge I can also lean on the model, but I know when I need to validate approaches that I am not sure satisfy my constraints.

A junior engineer doesn't know what they need most of the time and they usually don't understand which are the important constraints to communicate to the model.

I use an LLM to generate probably 50-60% of my code? Certainly it isn't ALWAYS strictly faster, but sometimes it is way way faster. On of the other things that is an advantage is it requires less detailed thinking at the inception phase which allows my do fire off something to build a class, make a change when I am in a context where I can't devote 100% of my attention to it and then review all the code later, still saving a bunch of time.

That sounds like NAND degradation (retention failures) which can only be partially worked around in firmware (and causing more write cycles on already-marginal QLC). Unfortunately the real solution is "use better NAND", which is unlikely to happen unless enough people demand it.
I guess it depends on what you're calling "your data" -- without being able to reconstruct an image from a noised vector, can we say that that vector in any way represents "your data"? The way the process works, Apple makes their own data that leaves your device, but the photo never does.

In my experience VS Code (with TypeScript) even the main refactoring options don't work very well. For example when I rename a method, move a file between directories, or move methods, the imports are not correctly updated and I have to spend time fixing errors before compiling.

With IntelliJ + Java I can do more advanced refactors (change method signature for example) and it compiles without any manual effort.
I'm a very cynical man who has also had the honour of working for the national statistics organisation, so take what i say with a grain of salt.

While there are lots of "real and theoretical gains" to be made in gambling, a far more cynical take is that the "advanced analytics" is the frontbusiness for the real money being made by criminal enterprises, insider-trading, front-running, special access advantages, arbitrage, regulatory and competetive inefficiencies and insider-jobs.

"No no, we're all really smart see, look at this math that you don't understand, that's how we make millions while being bankrolled by mysterious money and business partners from vegas, who also by definition can't understand the math and hence can't validate what we're doing but who are totally willing to just front us a bankroll :)"

Its possible that there are certain gains left on the table, especially in old and early markets, but be wary of anyone being bankrolled by external forces and earning millions/billions and needing to explain that wealth with "smarts".

Often i wonder whether these articles that appear aren't a form of marketing or reputation laundering, but i have absolute no proof and i'm not particularly interested in looking into it much further. So you know, i'm probably way off :)
That's just ridiculous. If everyone in town is allowed to send telegrams except for the one gay couple, is their speech not being suppressed?

This makes no sense. If they can't afford a one-off line item like travel arrangements, how can they possibly make payroll reliably? You're describing either a company with no financial buffer, or one that's asking prospective applicants to subsidize them.

What is your reason for using them over plastic? Just pollution or do you have a lot of woody shrubs?

Google confirms they are available here in New Zealand but I have only ever seen them in American YouTube videos.

Over here, you can’t just dictate tools. Health & Safety regulations and agencies use highly punitive measures to ensure employers do everything possible to avoid employee injury.

Even if you hurt yourself at home you are required to disclose who your employer is if you are claiming universal accident insurance.

I am sure they keep an eye on if employees of a particular organisation are having the same type of accident “at home”.

I think this is probably why they are uncommon.
I will speak to the Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, Minneapolis/St Paul region.

Rail is not going to happen until you don't need a car in those cities. Chicago you could do, but the others are not pedestrian friendly. Anyone traveling within that region will have a 95% chance of already owning a car. Unless the train gets you from Chicago to Minneapolis in an hour, people are just going to drive. The risk with car rental and money spent on Uber's isn't worth it.

I feel like these types of comments come from people that live in NYC or LA. The rest of the country is so fuckin sparse. Your "walkable cities" idea doesn't make any sense and is completely unfeasible outside of major metro areas which land wise in the US is like 99%.

Same experience for me for a small plastic car part. Tried to find it via Google using multiple queries but nothing worked, ended up at generic SEO car part sites trying to sell me anything but the part I needed.

But recently it looks like Microsoft has been dialing back the AI answers on Bing. Maybe it got too expensive?
The European Parliament is advertising this as a win for the EU. Yet it isn’t entirely uncontroversial and there’s plenty of voices arguing it’s overreaching - easy to argue this matches the broad definition of political weaponization as-is.

This is a non issue. Space is big, and you would need a lot of nukes or missiles to disrupt even a LEO constellation. Which means, by the time it becomes an issue the parties involved will have MADed themselves and the world into oblivion.
Deflation by itself, sure. Deflation when coupled with huge and increasing debt to service, then you have a crippling problem. That means your ability to pay off your debt gets harder and harder as time goes on, and most of your income goes to service debt principal and interest, and not on actual income growth. China plans a record $411 billion special treatment treasury bond next year, for example, but most if not all of that is just helping local governments pay off debts.

China being the largest creditor doesn't mean much when a lot of their debt is issued to belt and road countries that can never be paid back, and will be written off in the future. It does have a large US debt holdings, but that has shrank from 1.27T (2013) to 772B (2024), and a large part of that being used for cross border transactions.
I am pretty sure that if we had those people in charge of stuff like this there would be no bar above which "opt in by default" would happen, so I am unsure of your point?
> The idea that NATO and the US especially only engage in defensive military actions is what requires an insane level of reality denial.

Oh? I'd ask for evidence but I think you're just misunderstanding what NATO is. Just because the US is part of NATO does not mean that anything it does is automatically an action of NATO.
I've had a conversation almost exactly like this too, about an obscure dos based 3d fighting game. And some pessimistic instinct tells me I should worry, like this capability will be optimized away in future versions. It's like that precise pang of satisfaction is tied to a jaded feeling that I can't trust it to last if it ultimately depends on infrastructure and incentives that will lead openai toward eating the world like Google did.

Getting ahead of myself to be sure, Google absolutely deserves to be stomped, so for now I guess we just ride out this wave.

Sorry, I wasn’t making a case for that argument. I’m only pointing out that it exists, it’s a prominent way of thinking, and it’s worth considering.

I don’t personally subscribe to that belief.

My position is more so that wealthy, powerful people stand to gain a lot by disempowering their workforce, and they’re working hard to do just that. People like Elon would love to see cheap labour and AI beset the workforce such that it had no leverage and lower wages. He has said about as much in various ways already.

I’m a little disappointed that my comment wasn’t voted down more, because I really did phrase it as my own opinion.
If you reply to a comment I believe it cancels your downvote.
So? That shouldn't stop you if you're curious. It doesn't harm anybody (or any entity at all, even)

I was in the same place you were a month ago but I decided to just bite the bullet and build my own Neovim configuration from scratch. Fortunately I don't use auto-complete and an LSP was only a recent addition to my configuration. Telescope was one of the few plug-ins I configured off the bat and when you start small learning the eco-system isn't that much of a hurdle.

The Nvim Kickstart Project is a great starting point for your configuration and has it's config file heavily commented to teach you how to setup your own configuration, I highly recommend it.
Signing bonuses almost always have clawback provisions, and I've never heard of someone getting severance from being fired for cause (performance).

For those unaware, there are services like TuneMyMusic [1] and Soundiiz [2] that allow you to transfer playlists between platforms for a fee.

Spotify did shut down certain API endpoints last month [3] though, so there's no guarantee these services may continue working for Spotify. Worst case scenario you'd have to download your data [4] and then figure out a way to create playlists on the other platform.
